I don't really understand the purpose of protein shakes, I've already heard we get to much in our diet from meat, so what's better about the shakes?

Many people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance have difficulty absorbing nutrients and protein. For me, this product (before they added the "oat fiber") was very helpful in getting the needed protein. It is the best tasting protein shake I've ever had. I am very sad that they have added the gluten.

I agree with you Cherry's wife. Shakes aren't better than "real" food, I think it's about the why you're using the shakes that matters. For myself, I do not get enough protein plus I need the probiotics that this powder has. I'm sensitive to dairy and red meat so the addition of this shake to my day really helps with my energy levels. I'm also prone to gut and digestive issues. Since using this shake, my stomach problems have been occurring less. Protein shakes won't work for everyone for a variety of reasons all of which specific for each person. For me, this shake gives me what I need to combat my digestive issues at a cheaper cost than the probiotic pills alone. I agree with you Cherry's wife.

The Nature's Bounty protein shakes offer a quick well balanced meal for me when I don't have time to cook. They are satisfying and also taste very good.

Honestly for me, I started to use it because it was supposed to give you the vitamins and minerals that you need and at the same time keep you feeling full in the morning. I don't eat a lot of meat either so that was another reason I decided to try it. All of that being said, it tastes pretty decent. Is quick in the morning but I don't see any benefits beyond my normal instant carnation breakfast.

I'm not really sure if you mean you simply want to get fat or you are trying to find a meal replacement which is different. This is for those who lift weights I'd say. I'd say it could provide additional calories with an already healthy diet but shouldn't be used to replace a meal for a busy person.

It is much better than shakeology and cheaper. Shakeology is slimy to me. As far as nutrients go, though, they are competitors so they'll probably offer very similar results if you did a side-by-side comparison.

This is only after you get your desired weight. There is going to be a lifestyle and eating habits change. You'll see. I personally loved their protein shakes.

If you compare the ingredients you can see why it's cheaper. This is made from soy and whey and all the other ingredients I read weren't real food ingredients like Shakeology. You could use it instead, but it will not give you the same nutritional benefits.

you need to take it on heavy strength training days and even if it's in your protein shake. I think it's all about the amount that it's in both. But this stuff is horrible in taste. My hubby and I drink it with a little bit of crystal light.

Why would a vegetarian even want to make sausage. Tofu links???? Just seems like being a poser. I like eggplant but why try to turn it into anymore than what it is. Bacon is from a living breathing animal, not reconstituted from plant proteins. a vegetarian that wants vegan sausage or bacon or hamburger is really riding the fence and maybe needs a 12 step program.

It's a much better taste. As for "results," considering my diet and exercise routine is kicking back into gear, I feel much better taking this protein post workout than I did with Optimum Whey.

I really do not know. I actually lost more weight with whey protein than any other method. Get creative w/flavors using vanilla powder. Works great! (I lost 80 pounds in 5 months w/whey)

You don't have to workout with this ! Its a great meal replacement vanilla bean is the best BTW although I have notice if you are looking for something more fulfilling get the total lean shake Burn its great for loosing weight as well cookies n cream is good just a lil too sweet lol

I love the spicy chicken breast. I believe any of the chicken breasts fill you up the most with the densest protein. I didn't find the vegetables to be of much value since I can use my own so we've changed to the protein option which includes BREAKFASTS! Omelets with sausage, etc. can't believe this is frozen and SO easy! We don't use this as our only food...more for convenience and discipline having it on hand when hopping in the car for a burger crosses our minds.

If you mean the plain then yes. All of the flavored Orgains are great even the vegan. I avoid plain in any protein shake as it us just that "plain".

It's to build lean muscle. I would really keep away from this though as it tastes really bad.

It is a protein supplement, not a meal replacement... I assume that's the legal reason anyway. A balanced, healthy diet requires more than just protein.

Seems to me that the protein product that you are most likely to faithfully to eat or drink would be a deciding factor. Calories might be another factor to consider. Seems to me like only you can decide.

I'm not sure, but they include a bigger scoop than other brands. This type of advertising is another reason this protein is suspect. The main reason I don't use it anymore is because testing found that it had far less protein than the label says.http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/uva9t/big_reddit_protein_powder_measurement_results/

This product has more protein than Shakeology. I used the vegan Shakeology so it did not have dairy, nor does this product. The texture of Raw Fit is a bit gritty, Shakeology is smooth and I believe tasted better. I love Shakeology, the only reason I use Raw Fit instead is because I need more protein and I like not having to commit to spend $100 per month to get the best price.
